Flint... December 31st as the assembly date.
EJ? Let me check.
What's the casting date of the block, located on the bellhousing flange, towards the passenger's side, up near the distributor?
It'll be something like A 4 1 where:
A is January, B is February, etc.
4 is the day of the month, and
1 is the year, 61, 71, 81, etc.

The 519 block was used up to and including 1961 Corvettes IIRC.
The EJ suffixes listed above were used only for those particular years of cars.
